I have heard the 224 is hard to tune for the 4.8l. I cant afford a dyno tune so nelson will be doing it. Should i go with it or the 220. I drive the truck daily and i dont want to hurt drivability too bad. What do you guys think? Also should i run dual valve springs? How many ppl have actually had a 918 break on them?
Thanks,
Derek

I'd go with the 220 in a 4.8L...

I've seen three sets of 918s broken in less then a week. One truck had a 220 cam and dropped a valve and fuked the engine, the other one was a friends ss with a 228 cam we were just giving a check up on the springs and one of them was broken, we ordered another set and changed them before it was too late and after using it for a day or two, we checked it again and found another spring broken.

Your 5 spd with 4.10's. Thats alot of low end. I say 224. if you are just wanting an off the shelf cma grind. May want to look into running a small split. Ask nelson what he can do with a mailorder and get as close as possible to that. I would go big with the cam and save up a few months for the dyno tune. If you get the smaller cam just because of a tune you will wish you got the bigger one in a month or so afte5r.

too bad of gas mileage. Right now i drive 45 mi one way to work. That is kind of a factor too but 4 deg shouldnt make that much diff should it?

I would go with the 220 just because 224 is a lot for a 4.8 DD

I wouldn't go over 220 for your daily driver!
